Charlotte Gamewell Taylor, her trials no end.
Into a zealous Methodism born.
Her father John, Asbury's sometime friend.
The slavish South, her early years did form.
Wesley denounced their system, it is true.
But Asbury's census showed the White's would save
His long life's work; Francis dared not reprove,
The Methodist enslavement of the slave.
Charlotte married for prominence and love,
We trust, a scholar-doctor. Their life unfurled
In China, then the South. But heaven above
Is where she seeks babes buried ‘cross the world.
Charlotte Gamewell Taylor, most noble wife.
Her husband's career purchased by her life.
